But spare a thought for many high-profile celebs, who also have to consider their staggering million – and sometimes billion! – dollar fortunes.

We’ve taken a look at the richest divorcées, and the biggest divorce settlements paid by Hollywood’s finest, to see who really got the most out of their marriage.
